GREAT IRISH NIGHT - ST PATRICK'S DAY 2025
FAO: E booked The Irish Ceilidh Band for their event in West Midlands • March 2025
“A really good evening. Lovely group of talented individuals who interacted well with the audience. Residents were singing and dancing and enjoying themselves all evening. The tuition for the Irish dancing was very good and it was great seeing everyone joining in and enjoying themselves (even though we were not that good at it)! Some feedback from the residents is as follows: 1) A true Irish gig, absolutely great. 2) Brilliant instrumentalist. 3) I like Irish music and the band are very good.”

Absolutely top notch from start to finish
Douglas M booked The Irish Ceilidh Band for their event in Hampshire
“I spoke with Patrick a few weeks before the event. We talked for a while about song requests and the type of event, the venue and the type of event it was. The band all got to the venue early to set up and sound check. They played all the songs we requested and the quality of the music and the performance was faultless. The band truly are very talented musicians who love what they do and this shows in their performance. They engaged with the crowd and really made our celebration entertaining and fun. We loved it and would book them again tomorrow if we had any energy left from all the dancing. Real first-class act”

“We had booked this band to play our wedding. I am Irish and living in the UK and married in the UK, I wanted to bring an Irish element to the wedding. They were absolutely brilliant and got the crowd going. We had them play their second set in the cellar club of the venue and it was such an amazing vibe. Everyone was raving about them after. Thank you folks for helping to make our day so special!”
